Featured on the reverse of the coin is a depiction of the historic lighthouse with a representation of the beams of light that are a beacon to vessels entering Sydney Harbour in darkness. Also included in the design are the inscriptions ‘MACQUARIE LIGHTHOUSE BICENTENARY’, ‘200’ and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.

The coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2018 year-date and the monetary denomination. Meticulously struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver with a limited mintage of 3,000 coins.

The coin is presented classic grey display case, within a themed shipper and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
